Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
His symptoms may be related to an autonomic neuropathy or another metabolic disorder besides diabetes.
Chronic anemia, thyroid gland or adrenal gland dysfunction can mimic a similar clinical scenario.
I recommend performing a routine blood test for anemia or inflammation, blood electrolytes, HbA1c to see if it is a well treated diabetes, thyroid hormone levels, cortisol plasma levels.
A nerve conduction study may be necessary to exclude a motor and sensory neuropathy.
Hope to have been helpful!
